Great video and advice. 👍👍 Past 400hp it's best to ditch the stock ECU and cam sensor(CPS) to a proper standalone with individual cam and crank sensors for greater reliability. I ran about 500hp on my stock bottom end( with a metal head gasket) and a standalone without a problem. Currently in the process of rebuilding it with forged rods and pistons and push it to 7-800hp. Keep the 7M alive ! #Savethe7M 💪💪
that's crazy, 500 on a stock bottom end.. is it n/a or are you running the stock ct26 turbo? or are you running a different turbo? I plan on taking my grandpa's mk3 and i need to do my research
@@marcuss.9496 not that crazy for 500 to the crank. The stock 7MGTE is pretty sturdy when tuned well. Currently running an old but rebuilt bolt-on SP67GT, which is a Precision 6776RE, billet wheel ball bearing turbo. Full boost at 4000 RPM, but it pulls real nice until redline. Took it to 22psi so far. 😎😎 Get that grandpa's MK3 and keep it alive and well 😉 Sorry for the late reply
I had 720whp on stock block. Did have a hks metal head gasket and arp head studs. Lasted about two years before I bent the crank and spun all the rod bearings lol
The problem with the head gasket wasn't with the gasket itself. They changed gasket types but didn't change the head bolt torque specs. They were very under torqued.
Just checked out that beast of a car you have, absolute beauty and cant wait to see it do some pulls!!! Might be one of the most impressive mk3 supras ive seen! Great Job! Btw you have a pretty cool black and white reptile too! Cheers!
This was a well put together video, but i think it was made by someone whose never owned a 7m car😂. Those beginning mods would be lucky to get you past 330hp. I had intercooler kit, injectors piggy back ecu and 57trim ct26. Made 391whp. Stock turbo wouldnt do anywhere near that. When it comes to building it, its going to be just as expensive as a 1/2j. Not alot of people make stuff for these cars and youll be paying a premium for 7m "performance" parts. Ive got mine built with everything that can be done, realistically going to keep it around 700hp to try making it reliable.

Americans never do the mk3 justice. The JZA70R is the lightest Supra out of Japan with the 1jz, Recaro seats and adjustable dampers. Non of the mk4s are as light. I own one of them and they're much rarer.
that's was Duane ( upgradedsupra) old mk3. what a beast. I remember putting down 543rwhp back in 2004 and held the " stock manifold record" miss that car
I recognized his car but also your name. Pretty sure you bought your MKIII from me minus an engine. I have your dyno video on a hard drive somewhere that I distinctly remember Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" playing at some point. 😆
@@Dagasm I was stationed in Delaware at the time and purchased the shell from New Port Richey Florida from an forum member ( punkybooster) The hood flew up during transport as well and got damaged. I sure do miss that car.
you know, I love/hate these videos about the a70 supra. Love them because the a70 is a heavily overlooked car, hate them because this is my dram car, and the more people know/want one, the more expensive it'll become, the smaller of a chance I'll have the chance to own one in my life.
It's been too late. I see stock automatic non turbos, fvcked up paint jobs and they want 8 to 14k. It's insane, I bought my 91 supra turbo white package for 2,500 bucks years ago luckily.
Did you run stock bearings and stock oil pump on the ones that got rod knock? Since the oil pressure is so low from factory its a big factor as to why they get rod knock so easily. And if you run a steel headgasket they hold up fine. The stock one barely holds on a stock engine.
4:42 the images should be reversed, the 1jz is on the right and the 2jz on the left (the 2jz is a 3.0 litre (3000) while the 1jz is a 2.5 litre (2500))
You dont need a metal head gasket and especially not ARP bolts. A metal head gaskets are more prone to failure (look at some makers Surface finish requirements.), if you aren't in a situstion power wise where you absolutely need it.
@@NIVEKFFORHS so I made most of the swap parts. Only hard stuff I had to buy was the Fabbot adapter plate to bolt the LS to an ar5 out of a Chevy Colorado. On parts I’d say I spent around 3500-4000 including engine. Trans. Adapter. Clutch. Driveshaft (just had the old one shortened) I still run the truck intake manifold & accessories so it’s not the prettiest but I can work on that. It runs. Drives. And rips. Way better than the 7m ever did. Currently building a turbo setup for it hope to run it at about 8-10psi and aiming for 400-450 to the wheels.
Comeback? 😂 It was never popular because the 7m was pure garbage to mod. Alot of cracked blocks even after torquing the heads right and getting the better head gaskets. The real issue Toyota discovered was weak metal material in certain parts of the the block itself so under high turbo pressure it cracked. The NA 7mge didnt have this problem once the head gaskets where changed and given the correct torque specs.

When you deck the head and block, make sure the shop attached the timing cover and deck that with the block simultaneously
exactly right
Fully built 7mgte here in my cressida, great motor.
5mge was a dohc as well, but rest of the info pretty spot on
Need more 7m videos in my life
I Had a 1989 in the Mid 1990s. Best Car I Ever Had. I Miss It.
When you get a minute have a look at my mk3 7mgte. Great video mate thanks.

Or just get a fixed 7M-GE MK3 and don't worry about it lol.
In my case that's what was affordable, but I absolutely adore this car.
Literally have never heard anyone say the 7m is the best build. This is going to be interesting

Whose Cressida tho 👀
There are some oil starvation issues. What is the best affordable fix for this?
Improved high flow oil pump pipe, improved oil pump, replace the pressure based oil cooler system with a thermostat based system.
Good info. Thanks
If you have the motor apart get the SR-Fab oil pickup tube. If your going for power get their shaft bearing plate and oil pump gear too.
Ok, thanks
shim the oil pump, drift motion sells one of these haven't had any issues with mine
LFG! 🔥
1j is 2.5 and two cams
Wait.... what about the 1G-GTE?
The 1G-GTE was the 2000cc version that came before the 7M.
